Chapter 293: The Queen of Breakfast (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of "Mao Mao Loving")
"Listen, bread is gold. It can create more happiness than just keeping people alive. β
"Wang!"
"A spoonful of jam is enough to balance the sweet and sour, and the rest of the taste needs are left to the students to choose. β
"Wang!"
"Pay attention to the time, crispy, I can already smell a little burnt. β
"Wang!"
Half an hour later, Hogwarts kitchens.
Elena shuttled through the milky kitchen aisles, her eyes darting over one workbench after another, barely stopping for a moment.
And at the door of the kitchen, the three-headed Lu Wei also lay on the floor obediently, happily eating the raw beef provided by the industrious elves, while shouting happily to Elena's voice.
Completing breakfast for one person and ten people alone, and successfully completing the cooking for nearly 1,000 teachers and students with hundreds of house-elves under the guidance and supervision of nearly 1,000 teachers and students, is simply a two-dimensional level of difficulty, which can't help but make Elena suddenly think of Professor Snape.
But fortunately, the house-elves have a very good learning attitude and execution.
In fact, with the exception of cheese and jam toast, Elena optimized most of her breakfast to varying degrees, and it took less than half an hour to completely impress the elves in the entire kitchen.
Elena only demonstrated and explained twice, and all the elves were able to achieve more than 90% completion, and the rest were just some small problems with the details, and with just a few words, they could even do better than Elena.
After all, compared to the white-haired dumplings who only cook occasionally, these elves who spend almost half of their time in the Hogwarts kitchen have no problem with basic skills, they are just limited by the backward and closed Hogwarts cooking environment, not because of their attitude and ability.
To be precise, it's not just the relatively closed wizarding world, but British food is now a joke around the world.
As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the British Isles inevitably lost a lot of their own food culture in the process of becoming an empire on which the sun never sets. Coupled with the two world wars, especially the First World War, most of Britain's traditional cuisine was forever buried at the bottom of the long river of history in the flames of war and the roar of industrial machine tools.
"Miss Kaslana, do you think it's okay to treat mashed potatoes like this?"
"You can add some more butter and mix it with milk to make it smoother, and at the same time, it will dilute the milky flavor and make it less greasy. β
"Miss Kaslana, is that the steamed custard you said okay......
"What about the shrimp, what about the scallops, what about the chopped salted meat? And who told you to add honey to it? β
"Chef Kaslana, fried bacon......"
"You want to ask me about fried bacon too?!Isn't it possible that I need to guide me on the most basic heat...... Wait, bacon......"
Elena, who was patrolling the kitchen, stopped and touched her chin thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, although she has made improvements on most of the traditional breakfasts, it seems that there is still a lack of a top-notch dish that can penetrate the souls of all young wizards.
Breakfast, it's the beginning of every day, and a good start is always easier to bring good luck.
Cheese jam toast alone is of a passable standard at best.
Even with the addition of milk and honey mashed potatoes and seafood three-flavor stewed eggs, it still looks a little thin, and the modest marinated herring, fried bacon, fried potato wedges and fried eggs can only be used as garnishes, unable to support the soul of the whole breakfast.
True food is more than just delicious.
Even if it's breakfast, you need to pursue a sense of ritual as much as possible, which is a belief rooted in the soul of every gourmet.
Traditional Chinese breakfasts are often subtle and lacking in appearance and impact, and the kitchens at Hogwarts Castle have a hard time finding all the basic ingredients that are commonly used.
Therefore, in Elena's psychological expectations, it is already the best result to be able to make a "qualified" standard breakfast appear on the Hogwarts table in the early morning through her own influence.
But just as the unknown house-elf asked about fried bacon, a gorgeous and heartwarming dish suddenly came to Elena's mind - "Eggs Benedict", known as the "Queen of Breakfast" in the traditional Western breakfast (pictured).
Eggs Benedict, topped with a poached egg (in fact, eggs are added to swirling boiling water to form a ball-shaped egg pack), ham and bacon, and topped with a sour hollandaise sauce, are one of the most classic breakfast dishes in the United States.
However, from the historical source, its original origin should be in Europe around the nineteenth century.
Over time, eggs benedict have evolved into dozens of different recipes, such as salmon-flavored eggs benedict, spinach, foie gras, artichokes, rustic, and even Californian-style flavors with avocado and prawns......
But no matter which version, eggs Benedict is undoubtedly one of the most ceremonial dishes in a simple daily breakfast dish, warm and delicious, with a very high ceiling and a very wide range of people who eat it.
When you cut the top poached egg with a knife, you can see the gurgling yolk slowly flowing out, combined with the fragrant hollandaise sauce, and then use a fork to pick up a small piece of bacon and serve it in your mouth with the English muffin - the perfect half-cooked state as if to melt the tongue, with the unique sour taste of the hollandaise sour sauce, the crispy fried bacon and the slightly sweet English muffin muffins, will make the whole person have a sense of happiness of being melted.
"Burleigh, let's pause for a moment. β
Elena snapped her eyes open, turned around, and shouted at a group of house-elves who all looked similar.
"There's also a very important dish, a [Queen of Breakfast] that pierces everyone's souls. Time is limited, and everyone is watching carefully for what I do nextβthis is destined to be a milestone in the history of Hogwarts breakfast. β
"First of all, if you don't have hollandaise sauce, then prepare me egg yolks, freshly squeezed lemon juice, unsalted butter, cayenne paprika, and salt to make a direct Dutch sauce. Then, I also need fried bacon slices, English muffins, eggs, white vinegar, chopped parsley, ......"
"Yes, as you wish, Chef Kaslana. β
A slightly shrill voice of excitement sounded from the direction behind Elena, and the house-elf Burleigh nodded earnestly, his slender and thin fingers snapping in the air, and a roll of parchment floated in front of him, and a quill quickly recorded what Elena had said.
As Elena's voice fell, one after another ingredients and spices appeared on the workbench closest to Elena, and all the house-elves stopped their work and gathered around Elena.
Thousands of years have passed, and in the history of Hogwarts house-elves, no noble wizard has ever been willing to deign to teach them how to cook food, and that alone is enough to greatly increase Elena's favorability in their hearts - not to mention, in just half an hour, Elena has completely conquered this group of simple elves with her way of cooking that surpasses the entire era.
"So, let's get started......"
Elena licked her lips lightly, her eyes glowing purely.
From this moment on, she was the queen of breakfast at Hogwarts, and even Dumbledore's ban could not stop life's thirst for food.
